This Week on The Heart of Innovation, Hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. Phillips talk to Mike, who's sharing his journey with peripheral artery disease (PAD), poor circulation in mainly the legs due to artery blockages. After watching his mom lose her leg to PAD, Mike's now facing the same diagnosis himself. He's making serious lifestyle changes - improving his diet, quitting smoking, and adding regular exercise to his routine - all in hopes of improving his circulation naturally. What makes this episode special is how Mike connects his mother's experience to his own determination. He's learned there's a lot patients can do alongside medical treatment, and he wants to share these practical steps with others who might be in the same position. If you or someone you care about is dealing with circulation issues, this conversation offers real insight from someone who's living it day by day. Also, always reach out to the Global PAD Association's Leg Saver Hotline at 1-833-PAD-LEGS or go to PADhelp.org to connect with a PAD Navigator to discuss symptoms, find an advanced skilled doctor, and learn the lifestyle modifications you need to improve your prognosis. Don't miss this honest look at fighting for your health when PAD hits close to home.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
